[quote=Anonymous]I am glad they are playing varsity - its just, don't give them credit for being a freshman. But even if they were a Soph playn varsity its an accomplishment.

Committing as a 9th grader is an accomplishment too I guess. And taking up a roster spot while never seeing the field at that college is an accomplishment too. Many of the LI and MD people will carry the same baggage all the way. There will be an excuse in the future for why you kid can't play at the next level. The reason is LI and MD club owners and parents would like to quarantine the sport, and the eventual outcome is you can't manipulate that at a higher level. D1 coaches have better problems than listen to you whine about how special your son it. That's your club owner's job.
